Bogus Slogan Poster #62 - Inside View

That's Juliette Beavan of 8mm - I think she is married to fellow band member Sean - if not it still too bad. She has a lot of friends. The band's MySpace page has over 25,000 friends. That is more than you... way more. The poster's backdrop is a photograph of her by Critter. I think we see the value of Mardi Gras beads.

Silverlake, CA has resisted the world. I don't know how. I think it would look the same as the last time I drove through - maybe 20 years ago. But Bogus Slogan did a lot of giging through out the greater LA basin and saw a lot of Silverlake. In the 1960's you could get to places cheaply and, avoiding the commuter, quickly. Early supporters of the band supplied free transportation. Extra sleep and home cooked food made the six night work week doable. From San Diego to San Francisco, From the sea to the desert, even Phoenix & Las Vegas could fit.

The Cafe de Lira, while Antony "All Desire" Martin was manager, was a Bogus Slogan mainstay. AD adopted the band. Fed, clothed, some times a few dollars to help with the gas. Only he had no pull getting the band to play his club. But the house promoter finally noticed that guys from BS kept showing up. When she learned that they had approached only her club to get a job, she gave an audition.

Bogus Slogan have preached to the faithful there ever since.
